Preservation From Scalding

[From the Papyrus of Nu (British Museum No. 10,477, sheet 12).]

THE CHAPTER OF NOT BEING SCALDED WITH WATER. The overseer of the palace,
the chancellor-in-chief, Nu, triumphant, saith:

“I am the oar made ready for rowing, wherewith Rā transported the boat
containing the divine ancestors, and lifted up the moist emanations of
Osiris from the Lake of Fire, and he was not burned. I lie down like a
divine _Khu_, [and like] Khnemu who dwelleth among lions. Come, break away
the restraints from him that passeth by the side of this path, and let me
come forth by it.”
